Kentucky masters of apocalyptic Sludge / Doom strike again. “Survival”, Highgate’s long awaited third opus, is packed with heavy riffs and oppressive atmosphere, morphing the things cold and desolate from their untitled debut with punishing lith of “Shrines To The Warhead” and with slow grinding brutality of “Black Frost Fallout”, furthermore, adding few new elements to their brew of minimalistic and grim blackened Doom/Sludge Metal – this is the next level for this amazing band and an album equally familiar and full of pleasant surprises.
